5 Points Local

This was our first time here and we loved it, it’s a super cute place and they had some great vegan options, I had the vegan tacos and the honey lavender iced latte with almond milk. The staff was really friendly and we didn’t wait too long for our food. Social distancing was practiced also which we appreciated. Overall a really great experience. We will definitely be returning.

I wish there were a 5 Points in Austin! We were visiting friends in San Antonio for the Spurs game and they took us to 5 Points for Sunday brunch. This place already looked cool with a long line and yogis entering and exiting. I went inside to purchase coffees for our party while we waited, a nice gentleman let us cut him saying “you also have to get their baked goods, you won’t believe they are gluten-free!” He was right!! We got lemon poppy and pecan pound cake slices and four “Kali” coffees. Oh my gosh!!!! If I never even ordered brunch I would have left happy after just the cakes and coffee! But eventually we did make it to the front of the line, my boyfriend and I shared the fluffy pancakes and vegan tacos. We sat at a beautiful wooden table and enjoyed the professional hustle of the food runners and personal attention we received. The tacos were so thoughtful crafted— just because something is “vegan” doesn’t always mean that establishment has any idea how to make tasty vegan food that rivals meat. 5 Points blew that skepticism out of the water with their spicy, brightly tasting tacos! Their fluffy pancakes turned me into a human guard that was swatting everyone else away from my precious pancakes! I know I said we were sharing but I lied!!! Best pancakes I ever had, and true to the nice gentleman who let us cut in line before, I couldn’t believe they were gluten-free. 5 Points is one of the best brunches I’ve had in my life! ❤️

Updated 1-24-2020 I stopped by today with my parents to have a late lunch. It was so good! I had the BLT and my mom had the lamb melt and my dad had the warrior Bowl. We loved everything. I love 5 Points Local. I highly recommend! I have celiac disease and this place is 100% gluten free! Everything on the menu is gluten-free all the pastries everything! Pancakes, chicken absolutely everything. Absolutely recommend!

Love this place! Everything tastes so fresh and breakfast is all day on weekends. I was surprised to find out they are 100% gluten free with some of the best waffles, pancakes and toast I've ever had. They always have seasonal dishes which maintain the taste standards of their main-stays. Overall 10/10. Ordering process can be a bit slow in the front entrance but, trust me, the wait is worth it.

I drove half an hour to eat at this restaurant. I had to finally try their food! I’ve heard rave reviews from others. I ordered their Rise & Shine bowl, baked bowl and I also tried out their vegan vanilla and chocolate cake (not pictured). I thought it was delicious and filling. The parking space is small, but that is to be expected in that area. The servers were friendly, especially the one with the curly hair (I didn’t catch her name). The owner arrived while I was eating. She chatted with some of the regulars. She seems to be very friendly, and has a very sweet personality.

This place is all about locally sourced, sustainable food, with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options available. I had the Veggie Chili from the daily special menu board. It included a decent sized piece of cornbread and a mixed green salad. The chili was topped with a vegan sour cream, huge slabs of avocado, and a few slices of pickled turnips or onions (not sure which, because when you pickle something for me, I can never figure out what it is - but it was good!). The chilli had good spices and flavor to it, but it was just a tad too much on the creamy side for me, with not a whole lot of texture. They have a decent handful of canned beer options and a few wine choices available. Order at the counter, and then they bring the food to your table on a cool slab of natural wood - it's really cool. Some of the longer tables inside are also slabs of natural wood - it looks like they were sliced right off of a giant tree trunk and then varnished. The staff are super cool and really seem like they want to be there. Nice brick interior with really cool vibe if you want to dine inside, or you can choose to chillax outside on the patio. They have a parking lot about half a block away, or you can try and find parking on the street. I confirmed with one of the staff that they're owned by the same folks who own The Cove, so it's legit.

Wow, this place is delicious for anyone that wants fresh, flavorful food. The service is casual and caring (they even try to know your name). The decor is earthy yet modern and rustic. Rich espresso drinks, excellent fresh squeezed juice, baked goods, and desserts are all as incredible as the food. I have food allergies (wheat, corn, walnuts, sesame, and peanuts) and my husband has various dietary needs (paleo, keto), and we can eat nearly everything here. They typically have a daily special which is always outstanding. All meals are well balanced with salad and various protein options. I included some images of some of my favorite foods.

This place has a unique, comfortable, vibe. The food is decently priced and high quality. Bring your gluten free hating relatives here to show them that gluten free, when done right, can be even better than gluten filled food. Amazing pancakes, fluffy with great flavor, quiche crust tasted buttery with a beautiful, flaky texture, and the clean breakfast tacos flavorful and great for hangovers. The orange juice is fresh squeezed but not sour. Outdoor and indoor seating, room for large groups. Large portions. Open early. Family and kid-friendly. We will definitely be back!

My first ever gluten-free restaurant. I was surprised at how many choices they had to offer! We ordered cappuccino and although they didn't use whole milk, I tasted no difference which is great. The eggs and potato breakfast dish was really good, too. We lounged outside in their backyard and it was perfect. I'd definitely come back here again!
